Ruby Miller was the oldest Of four
children. She was good girl for the
eldest, too. She was quick and bright
and sunny-tempered, and very fond of
helping her mother. She had some
faults, of course-what little girl has
notP But she was so pleasant and
happy and Industrious that we will not
dwell upon her disagreeable traits,
which are, indeed, not worth dwelling
upon.
Ruby's father was 4 teamster. He
owned two large, black horses, and two
or three big wagons, Of different sizes
and shapes. All the Miller children
knew all these wagons, even to Lau-
reta, the little Miller baby. and as soon
as they saw one of them coming along
the dusty village street toward night
they would run out to meet it and cry
s.Hollo. papar' until the neighbors
thought there had been about noise
enough. But Mr.. Miller was very
proud of his four little children, and
they could not be blamed for being
glad to see him.
Right next to the little patch of land
which belonged to Mr.. Miller was a
long sandy strip OF farm owned by
Squire Ellington, or, as the neighbors
called him. SQUARES" He was the
great man of the little Struggling vii
lage of Nestlin, and was very rich and
very stingy. You would laugh very
hard If l could stop to tell you half the
funny stories they relate in Ncstlin
about Square" Billington's little
stingy ways. But this is a story about
one Of them. x
Young pear trees were planted thick
" on the ~equare' farm, on that
part of which lay along the village
street and next the Millers'. But there
was portion oft, close to the Millers'
yard, which had nothing within it at
all excepting some struggling blades
OF grass. ~
One day Mr.. Miller and Ruby were
Miller wagons, when he said, pointing
to the empty space on the ''Squafe's's
grounds: THAT would be first-rate
place to raise watermelons. l most
wonder that the Square hasn't planted
some there Iisn't good land for any
thing else, but watermclons would
grow there splendidly
lis it much work q raise Naters
melons, papaP' inquired Ruby.
'Uh, no. The only trouble e that
You want to be watching them when
they are ripe, or else mischievous boys
will come and steal them"
Aunt Mary has got some water
melon seeds: ! said Ruby. 7 wonder

FULTON GOES WET.

The prohibition election in Allan
ia resulted in Fulton county going
wet by e majority of 1,128. This re-
suit was not unexpected to US, but
so large a majority was. The best
white and colored citizens of Atlanta
espoused the cause of prohibition,
and they have no cause to be asham-
ed of the brave and gallant fight they
made. The principles for which
they contended will stand the test of
the judgment day OF God, when eve
ry man will have to stand on the re-
cord he makes whether it be good or
evil. AS man soweth so shall he
reap.
